‏ Psalms 62

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

For the choir director;
Cf 1 Chr 16:41; 25:1; Psa.39.. and 77 titles
according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 bMy soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him cis my salvation.
2He only is my drock and my salvation,
My estronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

3How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a fleaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They gdelight in falsehood;
They hbless with
Lit his
their mouth,
But inwardly they curse.
Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude
Selah.

5My soul, kwait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
6He only is lmy rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7On God my msalvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my nrefuge is in God.
8 oTrust in Him at all times, O people;
pPour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9Men of qlow degree are only rvanity and men of rank are a slie;
In the tbalances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.
10 uDo not trust in oppression
And do not
Lit become vain in robbery
vainly hope in wrobbery;
If riches increase, xdo not set your heart upon them.

11
Or One thing
Once God has zspoken;
Or These two things I have heard
Twice I have heard this:
That abpower belongs to God;
12And lovingkindness acis Yours, O Lord,
For You adrecompense a man according to his work.
